I’m looking for a self hosted music server (or client) that has good automatic playlist generation from a selected song, like Spotify’s “your recommended”. I’m currently running jellyfin and navidrome for music. The closest I’ve seen is beatbump but it uses YouTube for the music, I’m hoping to use my local files. Any suggestions?
I don’t think there is any self-hosted server that has a good playlist generation and is fully local, because it would need someone to classify the music in order to work. You can try to connect it to last.fm. I think Jellyfin has the addon for it.
Happy if metadata file names are checked externally with something like last.fm to calculate the playlist, just want the music files to be local. Does jellyfin do playlist generation with the plugin you mentioned?
Readme on the repo says it’s just scrobbling and fetching metadata. But afaik you can make instant mixes based on this data.
Here’s some tool to sync last.fm playlists to jellyfin: https://soundiiz.com/tutorial/sync-lastfm-with-jellyfin
Don’t know about the playlist generation, but I like FunkWhale and it’s federated too!
(And yess, I own the domain funkwhale.world… )
I’ve previously also tried airsonic, gonic, ampache, LMS, and funkwhale, all with some problem I couldn’t solve. Maybe embarrassing but for the handful of minutes I tried funkwhale, I couldn’t figure out how to add my music files…
Someone did an ml project, pulled data tags from Spotify. It’s very much a development project, and he only did it for one artist. He gave quite a bit of detail on how to to it and how to improve it. https://dev.to/mage_ai/using-machine-learning-ml-to-generate-the-ultimate-taylor-swift-playlist-50e8
Plex has sonic analysis and that is great for music recommendations. Are you looking to discover new music? That is difficult to achieve when you are just using music you downloaded.
I use Plex/PlexAmp for music in my library, and I scrobble to Last.fm from my plex server and visit their site from time to time to discover new music.
I have been planning on giving this a try but havent had a chance yet: https://github.com/koel/koel
It looks pretty neat, hopefully it can do what you mentioned as well.
